Hello

Shay put the triggers in, but I have done many. If you have an old SV trigger just a little reshaping and drop it in. If it's a new one, pull the trigger off and put it on an STI trigger bow. I shoot 9mm major in the winter so I don't have to recover brass in the snow. In a hybrid more gas is better, 38SC is a clear advantage. If you want to run a top fuelly you don't run 89 octane... you feed it the juice.

If you are going to shoot 9mm thru a Super don't buy a hybrid with more than two small holes or you may not make major.

Both... two barrels like the OP posted. The 9mm has 2 blow holes and the 38SC has 5.

Going up for sale very soon.

Or this.

Try it like this.

Please go into more detail about where you were going with ejector length.Thank you

What is the moral of this story? A) To combat diminished returns during practice teach your gun to swim. Super cool your gun... Shoot aluminum casings. C) Pull the trigger till it burns. USPSA Rule 24.4.1 Submerged gun starts are required on every odd numbered stage. Rules Update: Medium and Long courses of fire will require aluminum plates not less than 12" x 12" and 1" thick be strategically placed throughout the course of fire for the sole purpose of competitor gun cooling stations. Effective immediately we will no longer utilize even numbers for identifying courses of fire.

If you wash them with your undies you might end up with skid marks down your barrel.

Glue, nail, or screw anything you want to it... (all together now)... it's still a Glock.

Actually, I just checked all my 140mm limited mags. They are STI tubes with SNL pads and all 8 of them will not sit against both pads without a slight amount of pressure to overcome the spring pressure on the base pad. Take the spring out and they are plenty legal. These are mags that have passed inspection at matches before, under the revised rules they may not pass again. Just checked some other mags; old SV with TT bp and STI with Grams. If you have any up and down play in your base pads at all, I believe Grams recommends some, your mag will not sit against both pads without some downward pressure to overcome spring pressure. This sucks!

I have 4 170's that fit if you take the spring out or put slight pressure, all 28 rounders.

I had an older h-bar wildcat .40 was too heavy for me, sold it to my buddy way too cheap, he loves it. I do think I would try it again in a full size open gun though.

When you mount an optic on a shotgun what yardage do you sight in at to maintain that same point and shoot feel for flyers now that you have the added parallax? I'm guessing 15-20 yards then learn holdovers for longer slug shots?

Even though you were shooting the same ammo you know what power factor both guns were at, I am assuming the 6" was hotter?

This depends on how light the slide is on the normal bull barreled gun. I have a conventional 5" Bull Barrel with a chopped slide, and I also have a 5.4" Sight Tracker that utilizes a 5" slide as shown here, built using an SV Infinity barrel: The 5.4 gun does cycle just a bit faster than my 5" bull barrel gun with the slide cuts. The sight tracker slide is super light for obvious reasons (big gaping hole cut out of it) but I can go between them with ease. It isn't drastic. Both of them are much different than a full profiled slide though. Some folks make a big deal out of dust cover length, but I am personally not affected by it that much. My 5" bull gun has a butler cut. The gun pictured above is a little bit further than a short dust cover. Nice looking blaster. Does the extra weight of the 5.4 barrel slow the lock up time at all? I tend to prefer light snappy guns, but it is starting to look like a heavy gun with a light slide might be the right choice for me. Thanks for all the good info.

How heavy is it?

I have not had the opportunity to shoot a sight tracker yet, but I think the design is cool, i.e. weight forward on the barrel and a light slide. I currently shoot a 6” bushing barrel, short dust cover gun and I find it to be a little slow for most local matches I shoot. I have owned many 5” limited guns in the past and believe they are faster on tight stages with heavy round count so I have decided to buy a 5” gun and am leaning toward a sight tracker but have a few questions for those of you who know. Does a sight tracker cycle faster than a bull barrel gun? Does a long or short dust cover make any noticeable difference in the way the gun handles or cycles? Thanks

Interesting, one day and over 500 views and I have been contacted by a couple smiths that know me… I must have struck a chord. Guess this is everyone’s chance to tell them what you want in your “Custom” blaster and more importantly how you hope to be treated. They are listening, but then again the good ones don’t need to be told.

And that is what is wrong with forums. Too many nut huggers who will not call people out on their sh*t when necessary. Edit: I am not speaking to you directly, just in general regarding those "fans" you speak of. I agree with you whole heartedly and I’m not usually one to bite my own tongue; however, opinions can get you banned pretty easily around here and I am trying to turn over a new leaf by showing respect to this forum. I have learned a lot here and I would like to stay and hopefully help others, so I am trying to keep things constructive without any personal attacks, although sometimes it can be tough. No condescension intended; you are the type of person this world needs more of.

True dat! I just went to Matt Cheely's web site, I don't know him, never shot one of his guns, but man that website is da bomb! Drop down menus for everything... I bet this guy delivers what you request and a quick screen print would confirm your agreement. Nice job! Someone could probably learn something from this.

True dat!

Thanks JaeOne, I'll get over it eventually. I'm not going to mention in public who it is, he will know when he reads this. Your gunsmith sounds like a good one, does he refer to himself as “Custom”? Mine needs to learn that what seems to be a minor difference to him may be a major one to his customer and they are not just being difficult when they expect to get something that you agreed on and it is not delivered. If you’re going to represent yourself as “Custom” then listen to your customer and deliver, it’s their money you’re spending. If you can’t do that then don’t call yourself custom or even “semi-custom” (Thanks Foxbat) for that matter.

Mildot, I think you hit the nail on the head. STI builds a good gun, cookie cutter but a good gun, but more importantly, they do not represent themselves as “Custom”. With them you know what you are getting and if you decide tomorrow you want the same gun… click buy and voila, you get the same gun no misrepresentation there.

HP Jack, Thanks for the comment. If you did discus it and felt as though you came to a mutual agreement and you were delivered something else… How would that make you feel and react? My assumption would be you would respond similar to me and question it politely right up to the point when you are told you are just difficult then you would tell it like it is and be written off.
